It's an easy chicken pasta recipe that combines tender chicken, savory Parmesan cheese, and creamy garlic sauce to create a dish that's perfect for busy weeknights or cozy weekends at home.

Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast (
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ tbsp Italian Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 12 oz bottle of Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic Sauce
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese shredded
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 16 oz pasta cooked and drained (I used farfalle.)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
- Grease the bottom of the crockpot with the butter.
- Place the chicken breast in the bottom of the crockpot and sprinkle the Italian seasoning over the top.
- Pour the full bottle of Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic Sauce over the chicken.
- Add the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and chicken broth to the top of the sauce.
- Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the crockpot, shred it, and add it back to the sauce.
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. (You'll want the pasta to be al dente, slightly firm so shave 1-2 minutes from the cooking time.)
- Add the pasta to the chicken and sauce mixture and stir to combine. Allow to cook for 5 minutes more so that the pasta can absorb some of the creamy sauce. Garnish with parsley and red pepper flakes and serve!
Notes
- I used chicken breast in this recipe but feel free to use boneless skinless chicken thighs if you prefer.
- If you don't have a bottle of Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce, you can make your own: Add the following to a food processor or a high speed blender and blend until smooth and creamy:
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- ½ cup mayo
- 1-2 garlic cloves
- 2tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove until heated through.
